Talk:Gramarye

RFV discussion: November 2017
I wrote this entry after reading T. H. White's The Once and Future King and mistakenly assuming it was a legitimate name for Britain, rather than a joking allusion of White's to a line in a Kipling poem—"Merlin's Isle of Gramarye/Where you and I will fare"—as if Kipling had meant that the island was called "Gramarye", and not that it was a "magical" island (see gramarye). To my knowledge this usage is limited to White's novel and therefore does not belong in a dictionary. Zacwill (talk) 17:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Passed: I managed to find at least three qualifying quotations, and updated the etymology. — SGconlaw (talk) 18:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
